Answer 12

because I picked that, and it was wrong! :( Lol

Answer 13

\[x=\frac{ 2*5+3*(-6) }{ 2+3 }=\frac{ 10-18 }{ 5 }=\frac{ -8 }{ 5 }=-1.6\]

Answer 14

Yes, but it asks for Y value, so does it mean I still need -1.6?

Answer 16

-0.2

Answer 17

\[y=\frac{ 2*1+3*(-1) }{ 2+3}=-\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }=-0.2\]
